Drexel University, College of Medicine
I earned my Doctor of Medicine at the Drexel University College of Medicine, a school born from the marriage of Hahnemann Medical College and Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania, both of which have a history that stretches over a century and a half. The college educates over 1,000 medical students, as well as about 500 graduate and 500 medical residents annually. It has a 700-person faculty, plus more than 1,700 affiliate faculty members. Drexel University’s College of Medicine is a leading center for spinal cord research and malaria, and teams with the university’s engineering faculty to push the envelope in neuromedicine and neuroengineering. Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania, originally named the Female Medical College, was the first medical school in the world founded to educate female doctors. Founded by Quaker businessmen, clergy, and physicians in 1850, the college received flack from medical professionals around the world who thought that women were not capable of providing adequate medical care. The college immediately proved itself as a leading educational institution with the establishment of the Woman’s Hospital of Philadelphia immediately after the school’s first class graduated. The women’s school assumed a building that had been recently vacated by the Homeopathic College of Pennsylvania, which was founded two years prior. The Homeopathic College of Pennsylvania was developed to research the emerging medical field, and was late renamed Hahnemann Medical College in honor of Samuel Hahnemann, a homeopathic pioneer. In the early 1990s, the Medical College of Pennsylvania Hahnemann School of Medicine merged with the Allegheny University of the Health Sciences under the Allegheny Health, Education, and Research Foundation, which had acquired both. Both schools were renowned for their research and high educational standards. Tenet Healthcare Corporation soon acquired the newly formed school and Drexel University agreed to help run the facilities. In 2002, the school was officially merged into Drexel through a unanimous vote.
